Hey fashionistamomma,
It will depend on how your theme is set up. You can add the Instagram feed in two ways:
1) Using the [instagram-feed] shortcode in a page, post or ‘Text’ widget
2) Adding it directly to your theme file via PHP: <?php echo do_shortcode('[instagram-feed]'); ?>
If your theme has a widget area in the header then you can use method 1. If it doesn’t then you can try adding the shortcode to the “header footer plugin” you mentioned, but if it doesn’t support shortcodes then it won’t work. The alternative method is to add it directly to your theme’s header.php file via PHP as described in method 2.
Let me know whether that makes sense. Hope you’re having a good day!
John
Thank you so much. Option #2 was exactly what I needed!!
Awesome, glad to hear that! Happy to help 🙂
Unfortunately thanks to the recommendation of someone I lost my entire site. I started all over and now the code isn’t working in the header. Is there a reason for that? Would some of it need to be changed? or is it always the same?
nevermind I figured it out. 🙂
Sorry to hear about you losing your site, but glad to hear you were able to get things working again. If you have any questions or issues in future then just let me know.
Have a great rest of your week!
John
